Square Enix announces that there will be not one, not two, not even three, but four full-color art books coming in 2021 for Final Fantasy XIV Online. These books will include artwork for the characters and world of Final Fantasy XIV, specifically focusing on the expansions of Heavensward and Stormblood.
This has nothing to do with the books, but Square Enix also mentions that Final Fantasy XIV has surpassed 20 million players since its launch in 2013. These books will allow these fans to get some cool illustrations and concept art for each of the game's major expansions and post-launch update. Each book also includes an exclusive bonus item code for an in-game minion.
